Steel Magnolias at Victory North

Steel Magnolias by Robert Harling is a heartfelt drama set in Truvy’s beauty salon in a small Louisiana town, where six Southern women share laughter, gossip, and deep friendship. The play follows the strong-willed Shelby, a young woman with diabetes, and her loving but overprotective mother, M’Lynn. As Shelby prepares for marriage and later motherhood, the women—including the sassy salon owner Truvy, her shy assistant Annelle, the eccentric Clairee, and the sharp-tongued Ouiser—support one another through life’s joys and heartbreaks.

Amid witty banter and teasing, the play explores themes of resilience, love, and the strength of female friendship. When tragedy strikes, the women rally around M’Lynn, proving that their bonds are as unbreakable as they are tender. Blending humor and raw emotion, Steel Magnolias is a touching tribute to the power of friendship and the enduring spirit of Southern women.
